BOOKING INFO (scroll down for submission form, but please also read all this info I know it’s a lot but it’s very important stuff):

I prefer to book via this webpage and not Instagram. Please use the submission form below!

*Due to the fact that I am immunocompromised, I am requesting clients mask during their appointments. Ideally, clients will avoid large gatherings near their appointment date as to avoid exposing me to any illness.

Please be aware that there is limited space for guests. Please ask me if you plan on bringing someone! Also, if you have ANY symptoms (Covid or any sickness) right before your appointment date, let me know ASAP as I will hang on to your deposit and we can get you rescheduled!*

  • Pricing is $200/hr and I require a deposit of $100-200 (depending on tattoo size) to secure an appointment.

  • Deposits go toward the cost of the tattoo and are nonrefundable if you cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled date/time, don’t show up to your appointment, or are over 20 minutes late.

  • I have an awesome assistant named Ash (she/her) who helps me with email submissions. She is the reason I can function like a normal human being and not be totally overwhelmed by a million unread emails! Ash or myself will answer any questions you may have and will help get you on my calendar. She is the best. Be nice to Ash.

  • If you would like to schedule a consultation for your tattoo BEFORE booking with me, I charge a $25 fee for a 30 min phone consultation. All other clients with booked appointments who require or request a consultation will be notified via email and scheduled for a short phone call, which will be free.

Please allow up to 2 weeks for email replies. We are humans and have a lot of emails to read so we appreciate your patience.

OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS:

I do NOT do copies of other artists’ work. Each tattoo is a unique piece we work on together to create. References are only to give me an idea of the direction you’d like to go in with your piece and/or the placement you’re interested in. I love when clients send mock-ups, reference photos, etc, as I am a very visual learner.

I won’t be able to tattoo every client who submits their requests. As much as I’d love to tattoo every single person who wants my artwork on their body forever, I need to also value my own creativity and make sure I’m taking on projects that both inspire me and honor your concept. I didn’t start this career to tattoo the most people possible-I work in this field because I absolutely love making art and tattooing is an incredibly fulfilling way to express my creativity & share it with people who care!

I’m prioritizing people who ask for projects in my style and allow creativity on my end. Ultimately, this is a collaboration but please keep in mind my creative constraints and style.

WHAT I LIKE TO TATTOO: I’d like to focus on more tattoo subjects that make me happy and honor my preferred style of making art (I love bold lines, crosshatching or vintage woodcut style, and interesting placements). I also love: stories or feelings, abstract ideas, animal and plant subjects, strange creatures, landscapes, and anything ocean related.

Phew! Thanks for reading. Hope to hear from you soon!
